Also if anyone from outside the immediate are is interested, we can help set you up with a classmate who would be interested in sharing a hotel or a spare bedroom. Just let us know!

Traditional Healing for a Modern World: Intensive Herbal Workshop

August 2-8, 2010

Throughout history, most people around the world have depended on the plants around them as

medicine for their bodies, minds, and spirits.

Here in New England, we have our own living herbal traditions, drawing from the knowledge and

practices of Native American and European herbalists. Each new generation adds its own insights

and experiences to the mix.

Come spend a week in Boston learning from practicing herbalists whose work is rooted in

Traditional Western Herbalism, informed by science, inspired by the beauty and magic of the living

Earth, and grounded in their own direct experience working with the medicine of the wild, feral, and

cultivated plants that grow around them.

This intensive will provide beginners with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of herbalism,

as well as providing more experienced herbalists with an opportunity to deepen their knowledge

and sharpen their skills.

Topics will include:

❖ Herbal energetics and herbal actions

❖ Plant identification and ethical wild crafting

❖ Nutrition, food allergies, and food as medicine

❖ Techniques for making and using herbal medicines.

❖ Clinical skills

❖ The language and intelligence of plants

Classes will run from 10am until 8pm; dinner is provided.

Tuition for the week is $950.
